Help fixing odometer

Post by brussels »

Hi,

My speedo works but not my odometer, i figured its probably a crappy plastic cog so took it all apart to have a look

All looked ok, no noticeable wear, nothing broken or missing - any ideas?

Next up the needles on both dials, both have gone a bit wonky! any suggestions on how to straighten them? its a softish plastic, quite pliable.

Finally, does anyone know what type the main lighting bulbs are?

Thanks in advance,

The dials should be purely mechanical so something may be broken or missing, only other thing I can think of is is the reset button/mechanism stuck in? That would probably stop things moving.

On the needle front you could try warming it up then clamping it in between two straight pieces and cooling it down, maybe it will then hold its shape?

It could well be the reset button, is it a push or twist to reset? i've never tried it, guess this can be done without being connected.
